Windy City

Well I guess I'm actually going to do this...
This blog isn't to get readers, or to become popular. This is just a way so I can get my feelings out, and I need to get my feelings out for something recent.
I just moved, from a quiet town in Montana, for a raging city in Illinois. I was so used to the quietness of Montana, living on a ranch, riding my horse Moonlight, (I know corny name) whenever I wanted to. But now, I'm here in Chicago, and I can't help but feel completely and utterly lost. It's so different, back home you just had to walk 5 minutes down the road and I was at the local drugstore. Here I have a map under my nose 24/7, and the worst part?
School starts on Monday.
This has me worried, I'm a naturally shy person, so I'm not sure how 'friends' are going to work out. Now I'll admit, back home I wasn't Miss Popular, but I wasn't a loner either, I had my best friend and my horse, thats all I needed, but here... I have no one.
What I'm really hoping for, is that this school isn't full of stereotypes.. like the popular cheerleader with the quarterback. I so don't need that.
Sometimes I wish I was like my little sister, Melonie. She's the most outgoing, spontaneous, and outrageously random person I know. I admire her so much and I wish I was more like her. See Melonie has this spunky personality, and she's beautiful, back home she was the state champion horseback rider and well she just has all the qualities i wish for. She's only 2 years younger than me, so we spend a lot of time together. I know that being here was a really big change for her as it was for me.
So for now this is all I have time to write... I have to unpack.
A new life begins now.

My View from the plane.
